Mission

The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) of the City of Canton, Ohio is responsible for treating all sanitary sewage that flows to the facility from a variety of sources throughout the greater StarkCounty area.

The WRF was previously known as the WaterPollutionControlCenter, but was changed to its current title in 2008 to more accurately reflect the duties and functions of the facility.  The "reclaiming" of this water occurs prior to discharge into the Nimishillen Creek, which flows next to the treatment plant.

The Collection Systems Department's primary mission is to provide a business-like approach to the operation and management for the City of Canton's 500 miles of underground sewers.

What does this mean?
Our department is a service department dedicated to the functionality of our city's sewers, which in turns lends itself to the overall general health and well being of our citizens and to the industries to which we serve.

The goal of the Canton Water Department is to provide clean, safe and affordable water, and quality customer service to the citizens of Canton and to the surrounding areas.
